Some cute definitions I saw today in a political column...

"Obstructionism," -when Democratic minorities opposing Republican proposals.

"Tyranny" - when an elected Democratic majority passes legislation that Republicans don't like.

"Reconciliation" - a Senate process that Republicans are allowed to use to overcome Democratic "obstructionism."

"Bipartisanship" - when Democrats agree to pass Republican legislation.

"Treason" - Democrats criticizing a Republican administration during a war.

"Patriotism" - Republicans criticizing a Democratic administration during a war.
